Data collected from visitors (“Visitors”) who access information, content or services published or offered on this website is processed by LinkTime (“Company”, “we” or “us”) in its capacity as both provider of this website and a service provider. The above-mentioned information, content or services will be referred to hereinafter as the “Digital Presence” of LinkTime.
Protection of your personal data is of great importance to us. We therefore, as a matter of routine, handle your personal data responsibly and in compliance with the applicable statutory data protection provisions and postal legislation.
This Data Protection Policy contains information for you about our data processing methods. We explain what data will be processed by us whenever you access this website.
The owner of the data collected is Shenzhen LinkTime Technology Co., LTD., Block B, Liyuan Business Square, #4351 Dongbin Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, PRC.
In principle, our Digital Presence can be used without disclosing any personal data. As is common practice with many websites, certain data such as IP addresses and other usage information, is collected automatically and then analysed and processed anonymously by our web analysis software. By using our Digital Presence you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of this data in accordance with the terms of this Data Protection Policy.
Our web servers automatically log every visit in a temporary log file. User-specific data (such as the IP address of the requesting computer and/or device, identification data of the browser used, the operating system of the requesting computer and/or device, the amount of data transferred, the name of the Internet Service Provider, the date and time of access) and technical data (such as the name and URL of the referring web page when the website was accessed via a link and, additionally, the search term if it was accessed via a search engine) are logged and analysed anonymously. First and foremost, this data is needed to enable the use of our content (connection set-up), and is also used for system-related purposes, such as technical administration and system security.
We do not use your data for any other purposes, unless you have given your express consent to additional data processing when using certain services.
In some cases, to use some of our online services, you must provide some personal data (without login). Personal data is information about personal or factual characteristics relating to a specific natural person. This includes information such as your name, country, telephone number, e-mail address, school, school card, employment and job title. We only process personal data when you decide to send it to us; for example, by filling out an online form, as part of a registration, survey, competition, information request or sending us a message via the contact forms.
In these cases, we will only ask you to provide the personal data we require to perform the services we provide. The information you provide us with will be recorded in our IT systems.
Collecting data helps us to develop and improve our Digital Presence, optimize our range of services and respond to your requests. We may use the data we collect about you for the following purposes:
1. to enable your use of the Digital Presence;
2. for internal, system-related purposes, such as technical administration and system security;
3. for statistical purposes, in order to enable us to tailor the Digital Presence more closely to your needs through the anonymous evaluation of general user behaviour (see section 4.3 below);
4. to provide online services and contractually-compliant processing of these services.
When you have given your express consent or - if so stipulated by legal regulations - have not raised an objection, we may also use this data for marketing purposes.

You can prevent the saving of each cookie, or receive a warning from your browser before a cookie is saved, by changing your browser settings.

It may be that your use of certain functions or parts of our Digital Presence will be restricted or blocked if you prevent the use of cookies.
We use different web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, a network analysis service provided by Google Inc. The web analytics services use cookies (see section 4.1), which evaluate the use of the Digital Presence in order to obtain website traffic information, improve our services and in order to provide a statistical evaluation of our visitor traffic. It is not possible to trace the identity of individuals during these operations. The information generated in this way may be transmitted to a server abroad and stored there. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting the settings of your browser software accordingly (see section 4.2). Data collection and storage can be withdrawn at any time with future effect. For more information, see the Google Analytics privacy policy.
